INFINERA DTN-X: MULTI-TERABIT PACKET OPTICAL
TRANSPORT NETWORK (P-OTN) PLATFORM
Offering service providers operational simplicity, cost-effective network
scale to multi-terabit and superior PIC-enabled network efficiency
Why You Need the DTN-X
The relentless growth of video, mobile and cloud-based applications
demands a network that can deliver highbandwidth, market-leading
network economics. The Infnera DTN-X integrates Photonic Inte-
grated Circuit (PIC) based multi-Terabit WDM transport and inte-
grated OTN switching to offer a combination of scale and effciency
while simplifying network operations. By combining plug-and-play
automated turn-up, GMPLS network intelligence and service automa-
tion, DTN-X provides a truly simple network and system architecture
leveraging high density, low power enabling PICs, delivering a no
compromise Intelligent Transport Network.
What Is the DTN-X
The Infnera DTN-X is a next generation multi-Terabit converged
P-OTN solution. The DTN-X enables 5 Tb/s) of non-blocking switch-
ing in a single bay, upgradeable in the future to 10 Tb/s, scalable
to 100 Tb/s in a multi-bay confguration, and offering 8 Tb/s of
WDM capacity scalable to 24 Tb/s. DTN-X combines the benefts
of PIC technology, integrated switching and the fexibility of OTN
and packet. The DTN-X extends Infneras leadership with the unique
Digital ROADM architecture and Generalized Multi-Protocol Label
Switching (GMPLS) service intelligence and is positioned to meet
the needs of service providers seeking to offer new and innovative
services in a SIMPLE, SCALABLE, and EFFICIENT manner.
Simple
The Infnera DTN-X is simple to install, operate, troubleshoot and
scale. Services can be quickly and easily provisioned and transported
over a common WDM layer. The key enablers of network simplicity are:

Bandwidth VirtualizationAny Service, Anywhere, On-Demand:
The ability to convert the network into a pool of resources available
to any service, anywhere without constraints offers simplicity of
planning, bandwidth effciency and ultra-fast service provisioning.
Automatic Control Plane: A GMPLS-based automated control plane
enables automated topology discovery, service provisioning and
50ms protection, even in catastrophic failures.
The Infnera DTN-X is a platform that leverages PICs and a clean sheet
design to offer scale to 1 Tb/s per slot, 10 Tb/s of P-OTN switching
per bay and 100 Tb/s of non-blocking switching in a multi-bay con-
fguration. This non-blocking switching capacity is always available
without any sacrifce in switching or WDM capacity whether the DTN-X
operates as a pure switch, integrated switch with WDM optics, or in
pure WDM confguration. Deploying Infneras best-in-class solution,
future-proofs your network even as bandwidth demands explode,
while maintaining optimum effciency.
Scalable
Infnera is the industry leader in photonic integration and the largest
manufacturer of monolithic large-scale PICs. Infnera continue to prove
this key technology with network deployments in more than 50 coun-
tries around the world. PICs improve network reliability and reduce
cost, power and space by integrating up to hundreds of components
onto a single microchip. In fact, Infnera 100G PICs have operated for
more than 625 million hours without failure in live deployments. The
Infnera DTN-X is built upon the 500 Gb/s PIC and integrates over 600
optical functions and on average eliminates 200+ fber connections.
Infnera PICs continue to evolve, with 1Tb/s PIC demonstrated in
March 2011. Infnera expects PIC capacities to scale along a curve
similar to Moores law and believe PICs are the only viable tech-
nology to scale network capacity in a cost-effective manner as the
industry moves to higher data rates. Infneras DTN-X is a platform
that leverages PICs and a clean-sheet design capable of scaling to
1Tb/s per slot, 5 Tb/s of P-OTN switching per bay and in the future
up to 10 Tb/s per bay and 100Tb/s of non-blocking switching in a
multi-bay confguration. Unlike traditional network equipment, the

Without Failure
DTN-X enables up to 2x lower power consumption
integration of DTN-X transport and switching comes without com-
promise. The non-blocking switching capacity is always available
without any sacrifce in switching or WDM capacity regardless of the
DTN-X usage as a pure switching platform, integrated switch with
WDM optics, or in pure WDM transport confguration. Deploying
Infneras best-in-class solution future-proofs your network even as
bandwidth demands explode, while maintaining optimum effciency.
Effcient
Infneras PIC-based DWDM line module consolidates more than
600 key optical elements and provides a foundation that enables
the highest effciencies in space and power.
Effciency of Space: The Infnera DTN-X has two to three times
greater density than typical competitive systems, enabling the
densest I/O capacity per rack and densest non-blocking switch fabric
Effciency of Power: Infneras PIC-based solutions enable twice the
power savings relative to the competition, providing the greenest
footprint in the industry
Effciency of Costs: The Infnera DTN-X models beneft from an
architecture designed to lower both capital and operating expenses
An Architecture without Compromise
The Infnera DTN-X Platform leverages the latest generation of
PIC technology and 1 Tb/s universal slots, joined by a high-density,
non-blocking switching in between. Universal slots accept client
and line-side modules. Client interfaces include SONET/SDH, OTN,
Ethernet, SAN and transparent clear-channel services, from 1 Gb/s
to 100 Gb/s. Available in two sizes, the full height single bay XTC-10
supports 10 universal I/O slots and the half-height XTC-4 supports
4 universal I/O slots. The Infnera DTN-X switch fabric features an
ODU0-level electronic switch fabric with the ability to add, drop and
groom every site to maximize network effciency.
Terminal, Junction or OXC: Flexible universal I/O slots and integrated
switching allows each digital site to be deployed in any confguration
from a terminal node to multi-degree junction nodes with any add/
drop ratio. The DTN-X can therefore be confgured as:
Terminal Node: DWDM client and line with add/drop
and grooming
Junction/Digital ROADM: All DWDM line with grooming and
ROADM function
Multi-Terabit OXC: All client modules
Need something different? A simple in-service migration changes
from one confguration to another.

FlexCoherent:
Infneras FlexCoherentTM technology enables service providers to
select from one of many modulation formats on the fy, enabling
optimal reach/capacity trade-off with a per channel granularity.
FlexProtect:
Infneras FlexProtect shared mesh protection combines mesh resto-
ration bandwidth effciencies with guaranteed <50ms speed. Using
shared protection bandwidth minimizes network capacity needed
for protection since it is signifcantly more effcient with network
resources than 1+1 protection (approximately 60% less protection
capacity required).
Infneras FlexProtect shared mesh protection uses pre-planned and
pre-signaled protection SNC. GMPLS is used as the control proto-
col. The pre-signaled protection SNC only reserves the resources in
control plane, but it does not commit any resource in the data plane.

Simplify Your Network with GMPLS
Service providers can reduce the cost and complexity of opera-
tions with the extensive automation capabilities incorporated into
the Infnera IQ

Network Operating System (IQ NOS), including a

GMPLS control plane that dynamically automates network topology
discovery and enables end-to-end routing and provisioning. The IQ
NOS also enables true Ethernet-like plug-and-play capabilities for
rapid system and network turn-up and capacity expansions. The
IQ NOS improves network manageability with embedded digital
maintenance, digital performance monitoring and troubleshooting
capabilities for rapid fault isolation.
Carrier-Class Network Management Solutions
An Infnera Intelligent Transport Network system is managed with the
Infnera Management Suite (IMS), a collection of robust carrier-class
applications and toolsets, including:
The Infnera Graphical Node Manager (GNM): Full-featured graphi-
cal element manager
The Infnera Digital Node Administrator (DNA): GUI-based element
and network management system
The Infnera Network Planning System (NPS): Offine engineering,
planning and optimization tool
The Infnera CORBA and SNMP Fault Integration Server: Facilitates
customer OSS integration
Conclusion
Critical to your success is an optimal combination of scale with long
term sustainable cost reductions. The Infnera DTN-X combines cus-
tomer proven technologies, the economics of large scale PICs, OTN
switching and GMPLS intelligence with the simplicity of the Intelligent
Transport Network to ensure long-term sustainable cost reductions.
